Hi, I have recently stumbled upon the following changelog comment: > Changes: > nvidia-graphics-drivers (1.0.6629+1-2) unstable; urgency=high > . > * Add patches for new (> 2.6.10-rc3-bk13) kernels from > minion.de. Thanks to Drew Hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > (closes: #280224, #281640, #287226) > * updated minion patches from 16 Feb 2005 > * urgency high to get back in to sarge asap.
in which you seem to believe that the nvidia packages can enter sarge in their present state. However, because of the high (too high?) severity of the grave bug #267799 (fails to auto-load kernel module) it is presently blocked. Given the simple workarounds mentioned in the bug thread, I think that the bug can be safely demoted, as long as you add some kind of debconf question upon the installation suggesting to either not to use udev/devfs, or to manually preload nvidia (e.g. via /etc/modules) before the X is started. vassilii -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
